The Elisa mine is a former non-ferrous metal ore mine in the Bensberg ore district in Bergisch Gladbach . The site belongs to the Bärbroich district . The main operating point was between Bärbroich and Oberselbach near the Stockberg settlement.
history
The Elisa mine field was muted to zinc and lead ores on December 28, 1854 under the name Shakespeare . The award had been granted before 1860 but was not granted due to field disputes. The award in the name of Elisa took place on November 3, 1866 to the mine director Henry Dubois.
Operation and facilities
Nothing is known about the operations of the mine. Apparently no significant mining took place. The ore is therefore considered "unbuilt". However, traces of mining can still be found in the area. The relics of the Elisa mine can be found in a siefen north of Stockberg .
